All the public holidays in Australia are inconsistent. Queen's Birthday, as you would be aware, isn't actually the Queen's real birthday and not only is it different between NSW and QLD, WA celebrate it in September.

NSW actually cop the short straw on public holidays - we have one less than most regions in the other states. This is because NSW has no equivalent of a "royal show" or "regatta" or "Melbourne Cup" holiday. We have a bank holiday that is only observed in the Finance industry.

Tasmania and Victoria have the best deal overall - they get all the standard public holidays (Labour Day in Tassie is called "8 Hour Day"), but can get one more holiday in addition. In Tassie, some industries also get Easter Tuesday. In Melbourne, they've got both the Melbourne Cup holiday and the holiday attached to the AFL Grand Final weekend (called "Friday before the AFL Grand Final").

It does happen that NSW's Labour Day and NRL GF are the same weekend (intentionally I believe), however Victorians get another Labour Day in March, so they are always ahead.

NSW should, IMO, get Melbourne Cup day, because it is almost as big here as it is down there, and is the other major obvious public break.

Do you guys still have wacking day ?like on the simpsons where you all gather in the town square with sticks and go and wack cane toads ?

Shouldn't you be hunting that black panther that stalking the Blue Mountains .....

That’s all BS I reckon !
How long do Panthers live for ?

Seen a few Yetti’s though ...!
Mainly at Katoomba

Probably just a loose house cat.

Katoomba is a very interesting place, shop there every weekend and it's got a strange duality about it. Get up there early and you see all the tourists and retirees getting out and about and the place is friendly and bustling. Go later afternoon it's a lot quieter and the drug addicts are out and about having woken up from their meth induced comas.

So true !
The winter magic festival is a real eye opener

Yeah I avoid that like the plague. Each to their own and all that, not for me though.

Oktoberfest at the Carrington is good though.

Help me... I broke apart my insides,
Help me... I've got no soul to sell;
Help me... The only thing that works for me,
Help me get away from myself...

It depends who you talk to on this Forum, if you are Optimistic? it's because your delusional and need a reality check. If you are Pessimistic? Your accused of being a negative Nancy and to go and follow another Club.

Poor Queensland has always been striving for its own identity...
Couldn’t think of a worse place to live tbh !
Washed out beaches
Cane toads everywhere
And having to suffer crotch rot 365 days a year ( ask happy ).
